The story
A camel ride is the quietest way to be out on the dunes. The operator's option is a desert camel ride with a shared transfer from Abu Dhabi, about three hours from pickup to drop-off. Camel trekking is one of the desert activities Abu Dhabi's official tourism site lists, alongside dune bashing and quad biking. How long you are actually on the camel, where the ride takes place and what else is included are not on the operator's list, and your captain confirms them with the operator before you pay.
What it feels like: slow, high and quiet. The camel kneels, you climb on, and then it stands up in two lurches and everyone laughs at the same moment. After that the pace is a walk. From up there the dunes roll away in every direction, the only sounds are the padding of feet and the handler talking to the animal, and the light changes the colour of the sand as you go. It is the desert without engines, which is exactly what some travellers come for.
Who this suits, and why: couples who want the desert at a walking pace and good photographs; the family with children, riding with a parent where the handler allows; and active seniors who find dune bashing too rough but still want to be out on the sand. It is not for anyone with back or hip trouble, pregnant travellers, or a group that wants speed; for them the evening desert safari or quad biking fits better.
